Staying with my friend Kenny at his uncles camp which is south of the Matagami clubhouse about 15miles. It s only 200 yards or so from the main trail. No services whatsoever there so my posting will be limited from now. You can NOT get north of St Day Monique-de-rosaire because the river is not safe to cross yet. BUT.......it’s doublewide fresh groomed on the other side for approx. 100 miles all the way to Matagamii with NO tracks or traffic of ANYKIND. In my tenure of life’s snowmobileing I have finally reached (what I consider) the Pinnacle of what it’s “all about” Glad I lived to see it. kenny, his 17 yr old son and his unable are going to shoot a moose’s in the bush tomorrow near his camp while I go back and forth blowing my brains out. We are going to be partying hard at the camp tonight for sure. until I can post again..........

This is where I’m at have seen no one and not one other track on all fresh groomed double wide

This is where I’ve been

This is what I have been hammering today so far

Today I’m embarking on one of the most crazy stunts I think I have ever pulled in all my years up here stay tuned later tonight or tomorrow as I will mostly be way off the grid i have a feeling it’s going to be an EPIC day.........

Spent some time with Kenny at the hockey rink in Amos watching his kid play hockey then went back to his house in Pikogan which turned into a late night

And it won’t STOP snowing here...LOL sled this morning at hotel in Pikogan

Andy,, all the locals say they have NEVER seen this much this early. If it turns out to be an even normal snowfall season there is gonna be 10 ft in the Abitibi by March

Here’s one last pic of me and “Julie” the director at the Rodeway Inn in Pikogan im thinking of moving here p.s. She’s 26

In Pikogan again for the night and my buddy Kenny is going to come pick me up at the hotel and we’re dropping his kid off at hockey practice at an arena in Amos. That ought to be cool to see. as I’m trying to head to Barrute via Amos this morning I come to the river. I can see a couple tracks made it but since the Skidoo told me yesterday that a guy and his wife went down last week (sled is still at the bottom of the river but they are ok) I decided to take the bridge. It wasn’t bad at all and had ample coverage on the small shoulder.

And here’s one for the ladies.....

Can you say........

Doors are opened to let her cool off as she just got the snot knocked out of her for 30 minutes straight sorta like the “unwanted step child” kinda knocking

This is why......they were tandem grooming at the same time

As I get back on the fresh double groomed north of st Felix I can’t figure out how i never met the groomer going south.

So I turned around and headed back towards Amos with the intent of going back north again towards Pikogan on the SAME trail I just came from an hour ago. That’s when it happened BAM.....double fresh groomed heading north. I’m like how the hell did they do this in an hours timeframe. And the second grooming track overlapping is heading south. So I get back to Piko and still double groomed north with no tracks. I get to St Felix still double groomed north. At this point I’m just like who cares.....Go to the depanneur in St Felix to warm up and grab some supplies.

Well.......that groomed trail out of Amos this a.m. SUCKED.......so I turned around after about 10 miles realizing it wasn’t going to get any better. They seem to have this thing around here with certain trails to take the groomer through them without the drag. Think it has something to do with areas that have water holes and bars that are not froze up yet. Guess I understand there thought process but the trail is gonna need another foot and a half of snow now to properly groom.

Beautiful COLD morning in Pikogan this a.m. todays adventures will take me to Barrute on the 93 trail just groomed late yesterday afternoon if memory serves me correct that 35-40 mile stretch is beautiful trail pictures to follow later today God williing staying in Pikogan again tonight so I don’t have to bag up all my crap on the sled i think it’s my new favorite place

The groomer had gone down this trail before the additional 6 inches or so they got a couple days ago gotta love it All the locals say it’s been a long long time since they have seen this much snow this early up here. Say they are lucky to get a ride in before Christmas or New Years we’ll see what tomorrow brings........

at times today it was almost like February

At the depanneur in St Felix north of Amos this afternoon gassing up

Here is a GIANT GIANT cleared area in Amos where truck after truck comes in dumping snow that they plow all over into the bush. Then a guy comes along and rooster tails it with a snowblower 40:ft further into the woods . Pretty cool to see. Found it by accident today looking for a place to unload

You can see how much snow is up here in Amos area
